Those Metalheadz tracks are amazing, I dunno if they've got someone new signing records but they've got a couple bangers right there. I've heard better stuff from Brazil last year but I'll still check out the V comp.

That Kid Lib track is great, I had it up on youtube and another track from the EP started right after and that one was great too.

Sleepwalker, the new AwakeFM EP on Omni is great, I recommend it highly if you like atmosphere and melody and shit like that.

For those compiling your year-end lists, this playlist includes all the available tracks on this thread, organized roughly chronologically in order of mention:
ILM's 2017 Rolling DnB + Jungle Thread Spotify Playlist

I'm sure the new T.R.A.C. album Life In Motion isn't news to anyone, but hot damn is it good. Probably the only dnb album of the year that crosses over into my all-genre top ten.

Legendary full cycle artist has now dropped the "DJ" from his moniker and returns on 31 records. And it's really good

And finally. With his partner DJ Ratty, probably the finest exponent of the classic late 92 early 93 Jungle Techno sound. RIP

'drumfunk' has got to be one of the stupidest things ever, but it's a really cool mix.
― Frederik B, Thursday, 19 April 2018 20:29 (six years ago) link
You just mean the name?
This mix is super nostalgic for me, around '04 - '08 I used to listen to loads of this style, and the first tracks I made on the computer sounded a whole lot like it.

what's so bad about "drumfunk"
― the late great, Thursday, 19 April 2018 22:59 (six years ago) link
Yeah, just the name.
― Frederik B, Thursday, 19 April 2018 23:05 (six years ago) link
It never bothered me, although I don't think music at this tempo is "funky" per se. Maybe drumcore, or better yet...break...core?
― change display name (Jordan), Friday, 20 April 2018 00:02 (five years ago) link
Yeah, there's just way too many names for jungle already. I was being hyperbolic, though, nothing can be as bad as 'neurofunk'. Still. 'Drumfunk?'

Generation 3 EP by Commix. One of the most complete dnb EPs I’ve heard in forever. 4 varied tracks, all excellent but this is a belter. Slight vibes of Commix’s own “Emily’s Smile” and the long forgotten “Future Realities Part 2” by Dave Wallace.

commix vs fabric is easily one of my favourite of the series.something is clearly in the air.2 major label d-n-b cds from years ago that a few months back were available via amazon market for pocket money have now jumped up massively in price.
